Our Story
✨ Meet Lura
Creative Director. Champagne Whisperer. Chaos Calmer-in-Chief.
Lura Albee isn’t just the face of Extraordinary Events — she’s its beating heart and boldest voice. With over a decade of experience designing jaw-dropping weddings, globe-trotting celebrations, and corporate soirées that actually impress, Lura brings a signature mix of elegance, wit, and white-glove precision to every detail.
With a background in design and luxury hospitality, Lura learned early how to command a room — and how to make every guest feel like royalty. After years working alongside top designers and elite planners, she launched Extraordinary Events with one mission: to make magic feel effortless (and effortless look fabulous).
Whether she's orchestrating a four-day destination wedding in Tuscany or transforming a Napa vineyard into a corporate gala with haute couture flair, Lura turns high expectations into higher standards. Clients trust her not just to deliver — but to dazzle.
“Lura is a genius. I gave her a mood board and a prayer, and she gave me the most breathtaking day of my life — down to the last chilled glass of rosé.”
“I’ve worked with planners all over the world, and no one matches Lura’s poise under pressure, eye for detail, or ability to make a VIP feel seen.”
Known for her impeccable timing, fearless creativity, and the uncanny ability to read a room before it even exists, she’s the reason Extraordinary Events lives up to its name.
When she’s not fine-tuning floor schematics or taste-testing dessert tables (someone has to do it), you’ll find Lura dancing at the afterparty — because unforgettable moments deserve a little sparkle and a lot of soul.
This is her story. Now, let’s make yours legendary.
Cheers,
(Champagne’s chilling. Let’s go.) 🥂
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Do you only plan events in Napa Valley?
A: Napa Valley is home, and we know it like the back of our champagne flute. But we're all about destination magic. From Tuscany villas to Malibu beach soirées, we'll travel wherever your vision takes us.
Q: Do you work with government agencies or nonprofit organizations?
A: Absolutely. We plan and manage state-approved events, trainings, and fundraisers across California. We're efficient, responsive, and comfortable working within public procurement and nonprofit budgets.
Q: What types of events do you plan?
A: Weddings, corporate retreats, milestone celebrations, luxe travel experiences-you name it, we elevate it. If it's worth celebrating, it's worth doing extraordinarily.
Q: Can we hire you for just part of the planning process?
A: Absolutely. Whether you need full-service planning, day-of coordination, or help fine-tuning the final details, we offer flexible packages tailored to your needs and timeline.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: The sooner, the better-especially for high-season dates. We recommend booking at least 6-12 months in advance for weddings or large events. Travel experiences and more intimate gatherings can be turned around faster (but we love a good challenge!).

Q: Do you work with outside vendors?
A: We have a fabulous network of trusted pros-but we're happy to collaborate with your dream team, too. We just ask that all vendors align with our standards of service, style, and sparkle.
Q: What's the first step to working with you?
A: Let's chat! Start by filling out our contact form or sending us a quick email. We'll schedule a discovery call to learn more about your vision, goals, and vibe. No pressure-just possibilities.
